Which expression is equivalent to (StartFraction (3 x y Superscript negative 5 Baseline) cubed Over (x Superscript negative 2 Baseline y squared) Superscript negative 4 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript negative 2? Assume StartFraction x Superscript 10 Baseline y Superscript 14 Baseline Over 729 EndFraction.

question

what is the value of the third quartile of the data set represented by this box plot? a. 19 b. 21 c. 26 d. 29

answer

c

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

24
